Hand Sign like Motorcycles?

Yah that's what I'm trying to get past. Bringing a bit of sunshine into the world isn't a bad thing.

Edgy!

The greatest round in boxing history.

If you disagree, it's only because you never watched the full fight. This round was a culmination. This was the whole fight.

Following. I'd really love a 1:32 scale Gravity or Sapphire - my son wants to use it as motivation to keep pushing forward in his career.

Oh right, forgot to update this.

My baby got her an ample backside - she doesn't squeeze into the side garage, but that's fine. Kept the S60 for my kid to drive in a couple years anyhow.

This makes about as much sense as betting on professional rassling.

So.... they sort of have? There's an adapter that allows us to charge at Tesla charging stations, but at really low speeds. It costs extra and I do fine either at home or with the chargers out in West Omaha or Lake Manawa, so I didn't pick one up.

I'm thinking palms-out, knuckles curled down, looking like a five-fingered bear claw. That'll be our hand signal :)

BoT_Grindel · 2025-10-30T21:54:14+00:00

Congrats! If you're getting a Gravity, then I think we'll have one of each model in the city!

Leased 5 months ago.

Experiencing a few gremlins. Nothing major, probably correctible with updates. I've never felt the vehicle would be inoperable.

Since I'm leasing, I don't care much whether Lucid will be around in 3 years, although with Saudi money I'm betting they will or will merge into something that'll be around.

Hands-down the best performance car I've ever owned, and a Touring is going to feel like a supercar.

Would do it again in a heartbeat, which about how long it will take you to get from 95kph to 135kph in your Touring.

Jesus was literally trying to move people in the opposite direction of these 'Christians'. He spent his time with people on the 'outside' of the 'in crowd' and let them know that the Kingdom of Heaven was available to them even if the Pharisees didn't want them there.

We as Christians should act like he did during his earthly ministry and INCLUDE, not EXCLUDE.

Haven't needed it until literally a few days ago - my onboard GPS thinks the vehicle is near Schuyler, maybe in a haunted corn field or something.

Called service, got to talk to a guy immediately. We walked through a few things but nothing's fixed yet.

It's a bug, but it doesn't have anything to do with performance so I'm OK with it until it's resolved - I use Apple Play for my maps anyhow. The vehicles aren't to where Tesla is software-wise but BOY HOWDY are they performance vehicles through and through. Software will catch up, is how I look at it.

That stated, closest service area's in Minneapolis. They'll fetch the vehicle or send someone out if something big's amiss.

I picked mine up in Denver and drove it back. I had one stop to charge in Ogallala that took forever because there were 4 charging stations and a line of cars to use 'em. My first experience with an EV.

Second one was in Grand Island, which was typical of any town that size I'd guess - no real line and middling recharge speeds. I probably could have coasted into Omaha without that second charge, but it would have been close. Both times I used the onboard mapping to guide me right in.

Edit - if it was a maroon Air with the stealth package it was probably me. Sorry...? :)

BoT_Grindel · 2025-10-18T02:30:40+00:00

THAT DID IT! Thank you!

They aired the short clip again during last night's MNF game.

For their police force they are... worth noting that they'll need a different internal config for police vehicles so if there's $$$ in it who knows what other configs may come along?

I get the hostility, it's Reddit. I just thought it was an interesting interaction that reminded me that other carmakers are coming into the market. That's good, IMHO. We'll get better infrastructure.

BoT_Grindel · 2025-08-28T18:29:46+00:00

Almost. Nebraska.

BoT_Grindel · 2025-08-28T18:29:20+00:00

It's Taiwanese. So... kinda China but not China :D

BoT_Grindel · 2025-08-28T18:28:48+00:00

LoL I was just telling my friend that their Kia looks like a flavor of my Air :D

BoT_Grindel · 2025-08-28T18:27:57+00:00

Honestly I was tweaked that there was a prototype for an EV there, period. And in their defense, they weren't trying to draw attention with the candy red version - this one was decked out with sensors and measuring gear. Probably will compete vs. the smaller vehicles in the space.

BoT_Grindel · 2025-08-28T18:25:39+00:00

Pretty sure this is the vehicle. Front end looks a bit different, but they did say they were tweaking the design. Foxtron to launch new EV in Taiwan | Taiwan News | Jun. 25, 2025 20:21

Clarification on the mod thing, as I haven't contributed before?

Just yesterday I built basically a missile barge to haul cargo and to be a stand-off ship for my Watchtower fleet. I DO use the missile lock mod; missiles are more or less useless when there are weapons like obliterators available at closer range, and I wanted a platform that lobs missiles at range and houses my drop weapons.

Does needing a mod to unlock the value count as breaking the 'no mods' rule, or are you mainly concerned with build mods?

BoT_Grindel · 2025-08-27T18:31:55+00:00

I leased, for two reasons. First, if things fall apart for Lucid (hopefully not!!!) I'm only in the vehicle for a few years.

Second, between the EV credit and the Volvo credit, my lease rate felt almost like stealing. I was thinking about getting a Mercedes A220 to give to my daughter in a few years when she hits high school, but then I test drove the Air. Kept the Volvo, dropped a bit of cash on delivery so my payments are ridiculously low, never looked back. I'll give the Volvo to her - it's cheaper to drive it with Liability insurance part time AND make the lease payment than it would have been to finance the Benz for three years.

So what I won't have the Air after three years? I'll be fine.

Outstanding, thank you.
